Identification of AMR genes in an assembled bacterial genome

Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global phenomenon with no geographical or species boundaries, which poses an important threat to human, animal and environmental health. It is a complex and growing problem that compromises our ability to treat bacterial infections.

About This Material

This is a Hands-on Tutorial from the GTN which is usable either for individual self-study, or as a teaching material in a classroom.

Questions this will address

  • Which resistance genes are on a bacterial genome?
  • Where are the genes located on the genome?

Learning Objectives

  • Run a series of tool to assess the presence of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG)
  • Get information about ARGs
  • Visualize the ARGs and plasmid genes in their genomic context
